Europe » Folk Painting on Glass in Painted Frame
Ref: 4968
A nicely executed folk painting on glass, copied from a religious print, but wholly transformed into something abstract and colourful by the peasant artist who made it. These were made in the villages and sold at markets to the indigenous peasant population who liked to brighten their homes with such things. The painting on the pine frame is typically Romanian.
